Pokemon Legends Z-A: How To Trade

This guide will cover everything you need to know about the trade feature for Pokemon Legends Z-A, so you can complete the Pokedex.

You will need to trade Pokemon if you want to complete the Pokedex for Legends Z-A. This is a core mechanic of the Pokemon games, and it makes a return for Legends Z-A.

This feature lets you fill up the Pokedex since various Pokemon only evolve through trading. You will need to find another user who is willing to trade a Pokemon with you or use Trade Codes.

How To Trade in Pokemon Legends Z-A

You need to press X to open up the menu. After this, go to the ‘Link Play’ tab. Here, you will notice five tabs to choose from, but the one you are looking for is called Link Trade. Two options will pop up on the next screen:

• Nearby Players: If you and your trade partner are on the same network, you will want to select this choice.
• Faraway Players: As you can see from the name, this option is designed for players who are not present nearby.

Trade Codes in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Regardless of the option you select, you will need to enter a Trade Code. Think of these as room codes that both players must use to enter the same trade room.

Once both players are in the same trade room, you can offer and receive whichever Pokemon you want from your box.

Disclaimer: If you are receiving a Pokemon for a Trade Evolution, then ensure that it is holding the correct item it might need to evolve. For instance, Scyther holding a Metal Coat for evolving into Scizor.

If you want to fill the Pokedex just for all the Trade Evolutions, then you can use the most popular trade codes used by the community. These will help you easily get the Pokemon you need.
